    I made a sensible email address with my last name followed by my first initial when google mail first started. Young people are always in awe of the fact that I got to have my name as my email address without adding anything extra to it.

      On the other hand, my six letter Gmail address now constantly gets messages from people who mistyped their email addresses when signing up for things.

      I was that dumb kid who got my first gmail invite from a friend and never thought to use my first name/last name because it was during the time that we all were supposed to be ‘anonymous’ as everyone on the internet was a murderer.
